Interventions

Intervention1: Static Guided Endodontic (SGE) Access group: Endodontic Access in SG group: A penetration point for the access cavity preparation will be marked through the static guide using a methyl

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Symptomatic single rooted calcified teeth with delayed or no response to the pulp sensibility test, and Orstavik periapical index (PAI) score of 1-4 will be included in the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Teeth with no evidence of canal calcification will be excluded. Calcified teeth with attempted root canal treatment, tooth mobility or iatrogenic errors will be excluded.
